To remove the side mirrors of a BMW, first you need to take off the inner door panel. After removing the trim, unscrew the three bolts securing the mirror inside the door, then disconnect the mirror's wiring harness plug. This will allow you to remove the mirror from the door. Below is relevant information about car mirrors: 1. Car mirrors are located on both sides of the vehicle's front end and inside the cabin at the front. They reflect conditions behind, beside, and below the vehicle, enabling drivers to indirectly observe these areas. Serving as "second eyes," they significantly expand the driver's field of vision. As crucial safety components, their mirror surface, shape, and operation require careful consideration. 2. Mirror quality and installation are governed by industry standards. To facilitate driver operation and prevent traffic accidents while ensuring personal safety, all countries mandate that vehicles must be equipped with adjustable mirrors. By installation position, they can be categorized as interior rearview mirrors, exterior side mirrors, and under-mirrors. The interior rearview mirror allows drivers to check rear conditions without significantly altering their forward view.

What to Do About Loud Exhaust Pipe Noise?

For a loud exhaust pipe, you can remove the exhaust pipe to check for cracks or holes in the pipe. For very small holes, use aluminum foil tape to secure them firmly; for larger holes and cracks, have a welder help with welding repairs or replace the muffler. The exhaust pipe is part of the engine's exhaust system, which mainly includes the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, and muffler. Typically, the three-way catalytic converter, which controls engine pollutant emissions, is also installed in the exhaust system. The exhaust pipe generally consists of a front exhaust pipe and a rear exhaust pipe. Loud exhaust pipe noise in a car may be due to aging of the exhaust pipe, failure of the car's three-way catalytic converter, malfunction of the ignition system, or abnormal concentration of the combustible gas mixture. The exhaust pipe is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler to reduce vibration and noise, facilitate installation, and extend the life of the exhaust muffler system. Maintenance methods for car exhaust pipes: When it's difficult to start the car in cold winter weather, close the choke to start the engine, and remember to open the choke promptly after the engine warms up. Avoid driving at high speeds for long periods with the choke closed; do not drive at low gear with high load for extended periods, as this can damage both the engine and the muffler; avoid revving the engine at high speeds while stationary for long periods. If the muffler surface has oil stains, it may discolor to yellow or blue after the engine warms up; if the muffler surface is covered with a large amount of mud or other dirt, clean it promptly to avoid affecting its heat dissipation.

How to Charge the Changan Benben at Home?

To charge a car battery at home, the essential requirement is a charger with a DC output voltage of 14 volts and an output current of 5-10 amps, preferably adjustable. When charging the battery at home, it's crucial to monitor the charging time carefully. The average charging time is around 8 hours. Prolonged charging can lead to the risk of explosion. Here is some relevant information about car batteries: 1. Charging Methods: When the car battery is dead and the engine cannot start, you can use the battery jump-start method to charge it. Battery jump-starting involves connecting another car's battery to the dead battery. After transferring power, the engine can be started, and then the internal generator charges the battery while the engine is running. 2. Consequences of a Dead Battery: Car batteries have a self-discharge phenomenon, naturally losing about 1% of their charge daily. If the car battery is dead, it not only affects the use of electrical devices in the car but also makes it difficult to start the vehicle.
